Download or read book Roman Finds written by Richard Hingley and published by . This book was released on 2007-04-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies on finds in Roman Britain and the Western Provinces have come to greater prominence in the literature of recent years. The quality of such work has also improved, and is now theoretically informed, and based on rich data-sets. Work on finds over the last decade or two has changed our understanding of the Roman era in profound ways, and yet despite such encouraging advances and such clear worth, there has to date, been little in the way of a dedicated forum for the presentation and evaluation of current approaches to the study of material culture. The conference at which these papers were initially presented has gone some way to redressing this, and these papers bring the very latest studies on Roman finds to a wider audience. Twenty papers are here presented covering various themes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wanneer men handboeken over Europese archeologie raadpleegt, dan moet men zeer dikwijls vaststellen dat Vlaanderen een blanke vlek blijkt te zijn. Is ons archeologisch erfgoed dan onbelangrijk? Zeker niet! Gelegen in het hart van Europa, is Vlaanderen sinds enkele tienduizenden jaren steeds opnieuw een intens bewoond gebied geweest, een kruispunt waar culturen en machten elkaar hebben ontmoet, beïnvloed en bekampt. Die tienduizenden jaren van bewoning hebben op ontelbare plaatsen materiële getuigen in de bodem achtergelaten, materiële getuigen die samen het bodemarchief vormen. Alhoewel dit archeologisch erfgoed dikwijls wel minder spectaculair of monumentaal lijkt dan bijvoorbeeld in mediterrane streken, is het toch zeer rijk en gevarieerd, en dus zeker niet minder belangrijk dan wat onze buurlanden hebben.Hoe valt het dan te verklaren dat ons archeologisch patrimonium zo weinig gekend is? Ongetwijfeld speelt de taal hierbij een rol. Onze publicaties zijn voor buitenlandse collega's vaak minder toegankelijk. Maar ook in eigen land bleef de rijkdom van ons bodemarchief zeer lang onderschat en zelfs miskend. Men ging er immers van uit dat Vlaanderen in het verre verleden tijdens verschillende periodes helemaal niet of nauwelijks bewoond was, zodat er niet veel te zoeken viel, of toch niets interessants. Heel wat periodes zijn dan ook nog zeer slecht gekend of blijken pas nu hun waardevolle informatie vrij te geven. De recente ontdekking van honderden grafheuvels uit de bronstijd in Oost- en West-Vlaanderen vormt daarvan een treffend voorbeeld, terwijl het nauwelijks enkele jaren voorheen - eerst in de Kempen, dan in zandig Vlaanderen - duidelijk werd dat ook Noord-België tijdens de Romeinse tijd intens bewoond was. Ook de rijkdom en het belang van ons middeleeuws en jonger archeologisch erfgoed kregen pas sinds relatief korte tijd meer aandacht.Kan het ons dan nog verwonderen dat het archeologische verleden voor de eigen bevolking grotendeels een onbekende bleef en de groeiende publieke belangstelling voor de archeologie in eigen land slechts een vrij recent verschijnsel is? Vandaar dat ook de beoefening van de archeologie - zeker van de archeologie als wetenschap - in Vlaanderen eigenlijk nog geen duidelijk statuut verworven heeft. Velen zien archeologen nog eerder als zonderlingen en beschouwen archeologie nog steeds meer als een tijdverdrijf dan als een volwaardige wetenschap met strikte methoden en technieken. De algemene miskenning van de waarde van ons archeologisch patrimonium is bovendien tegelijkertijd oorzaak en gevolg van een totaal gebrek aan belangstelling vanwege de overheid. Zij moest de verantwoordelijkheid voor het beheer, de bescherming en het onderzoek van dat patrimonium op zich nemen, maar heeft dit in feite pas op zeer recente datum gedaan. Het lange uitblijven - tot 1993, tientallen jaren later dan in de buurlanden - van enige decreet- en regelgeving ter ondersteuning van een coherent beleid inzake archeologische monumentenzorg, heeft in grote mate de ontwikkeling van de professionele archeologiebeoefening gehypothekeerd en is er derhalve mede oorzaak van dat het archeologisch onderzoek een zeer grote achterstand heeft opgelopen, zeker op kwantitatief vlak, maar ook inhoudelijk. De stijging van deze achterstand is nu wel sterk afgeremd, maar van een reële inhaalbeweging kan nog niet worden gewaagd.

Download or read book Local Identities written by Fokke Albert Gerritsen and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerritsen's study investigates how small groups of people—households, or local communities—constitute and represent their social identity by shaping the landscape around them. Examining things like house building and habitation, cremation and burial, and farming and ritual practice, Gerritsen develops a new theoretical and empirical perspective on the practices that create collective senses of identity and belonging. An explicitly diachronic approach reveals processes of cultural and social change that have previously gone unnoticed, providing a basis for a much more dynamic history of the late prehistoric inhabitants of this region.

Download or read book Roman Military Architecture on the Frontiers written by Rob Collins and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman army was one of the most astounding organizations in the ancient world, and much of the success of the Roman empire can be attributed to its soldiers. Archaeological remains and ancient texts provide detailed testimonies that have allowed scholars to understand and reconstruct the army’s organization and activities. This interest has traditionally worked in tandem with the study of Roman frontiers. Historically, the early imperial period, and in particular the emergence of the frontiers, has been the focus of research. During those investigations, however, the remains of the later Roman army were also frequently encountered, if not always understood. Recent decades have brought a burgeoning interest in not only the later Roman army, but also late antiquity more widely. It is the aim of this volume to demonstrate that while scholars grappling with the late Roman army may want for a rich corpus of inscriptions and easily identifiable military installations, research is revealing a dynamic, less-predictable force that was adapting to a changing world, in terms of both external threats and its own internal structures. The dynamism and ingenuity of the late Roman army provides a breath of fresh air after the suffocating uniformity of its forbears. The late Roman army was a vital and influential element in the late antique empire. Having evolved through the 3rd century and been formally reorganized under Diocletian and Constantine, the limitanei guarded the frontiers, while the comitatenses provided mobile armies that were fielded against external enemies and internal threats. The transformation of the early imperial army to the late antique army is documented in the rich array of texts from the period, supplemented by a perhaps surprisingly rich archaeological record.

Download or read book Beyond Barrows written by David R. Fontijn and published by Sidestone Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe is dotted with tens of thousands of prehistoric barrows. In spite of their ubiquity, little is known on the role they had in pre- and protohistoric landscapes. In 2010, an international group of archaeologists came together at the conference of the European Association of Archaeologists in The Hague to discuss and review current research on this topic. This book presents the proceedings of that session. The focus is on the prehistory of Scandinavia and the Low Countries, but also includes an excursion to huge prehistoric mounds in the southeast of North America. One contribution presents new evidence on how the immediate environment of Neolithic Funnel Beaker (TRB) culture megaliths was ordered, another one discusses the role of remarkable single and double post alignments around Bronze and Iron Age burial mounds. Zooming out, several chapters deal with the place of barrows in the broader landscape. The significance of humanly-managed heath in relation to barrow groups is discussed, and one contribution emphasizes how barrow orderings not only reflect spatial organization, but are also important as conceptual anchors structuring prehistoric perception. Other authors, dealing with Early Neolithic persistent places and with Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age urnfields, argue that we should also look beyond monumentality in order to understand long-term use of "ritual landscapes". The book contains an important contribution by the well-known Swedish archaeologist Tore Artelius on how Bronze Age barrows were structurally re-used by pre-Christian Vikings. This is his last article, written briefly before his death. This book is dedicated to his memory. This publication is part of the Ancestral Mounds Research Project of the University of Leiden.

Download or read book Barely Surviving or More than Enough written by Maaike Groot and published by Sidestone Press. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How people produced or acquired their food in the past is one of the main questions in archaeology. Everyone needs food to survive, so the ways in which people managed to acquire it forms the very basis of human existence. Farming was key to the rise of human sedentarism. Once farming moved beyond subsistence, and regularly produced a surplus, it supported the development of specialisation, speeded up the development of socio-economic as well as social complexity, the rise of towns and the development of city states. In short, studying food production is of critical importance in understanding how societies developed. Environmental archaeology often studies the direct remains of food or food processing, and is therefore well-suited to address this topic. What is more, a wealth of new data has become available in this field of research in recent years. This allows synthesising research with a regional and diachronic approach. Indeed, most of the papers in this volume offer studies on subsistence and surplus production with a wide geographical perspective. The research areas vary considerably, ranging from the American Mid-South to Turkey. The range in time periods is just as wide, from c. 7000 BC to the 16th century AD. Topics covered include foraging strategies, the combination of domestic and wild food resources in the Neolithic, water supply, crop specialisation, the effect of the Roman occupation on animal husbandry, town-country relationships and the monastic economy. With this collection of papers and the theoretical framework presented in the introductory chapter, we wish to demonstrate that the topic of subsistence and surplus production remains of interest, and promises to generate more exciting research in the future.

Download or read book Bronze Age Settlements in the Low Countries written by Harry Fokkens and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2008-06-04 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Low Countries around the deltas of the river Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt have a long tradition in large scale archaeological research. This book brings together research from thirteen of the largest Bronze Age settlements described by their original excavators. These contributions are preceded by two introductory chapters written by the editors, providing a full overview of the state of Dutch Bronze Age settlement research, the key sites and the explanatory models current within it. Standards have been developed for the analysis of Bronze Age house plans and settlement sites and new models for the reading of the settled landscape. The rich data of the Low Countries also incorporate burial areas and deposition places. The findings presented can be seen to reflect the situation over a large area of lands bordering the North Sea.
